The aqueous phase was separated and the organic phase was washed with 10% aqueous sodium chloride solution (200 mL) and the aqueous phase separated. The organic phase was concentrated in vacuo using a 45° C. bath. n-Butanol (100 mL) was then charged and distillation in vacuo was conducted until the contents were reduced by approximately 10% by volume. The suspension resulting was allowed to cool to 20° C. with mechanical stirring and held at that temperature for 18 hours. The solid was filtered and dried in vacuo at 45° C.
